View attachment 106801 OMG! You DIDN'T, jw!!! Okay, fine, but I went googling and I think you'd be better served to not dredge up all your creative gifs and begin thinking about pulling out the power tools. What? You say 'what do you mean?' Well, look at the below. Pulled it up right from the official weather gurus that govern our country's weather. Says you're in for some nasty nasties. Or, maybe this is just typical and you're already prepared????

heh, well, at least it's gonna get warmer!!!!!

That kind a day.

We're going to be back up to almost 60 degrees all weekend. I have lots of yard clean up to get finished so thank you weather gods!

I did a lot of yard clean up today too, mostly around the pond and cleaning off the leaf net. I think the landscapers are coming one more time to do one last leaf clean-up on the lawn as the trees are 95% bare, finally. We have a couple other minor projects to wrap up tomorrow too...a couple fence repairs and also putting the driveway gate back up that we took down while the garage construction was happening. Once that's done, I think we are ready for winter. Just in time for the temperatures to plunge on Tuesday/Wednesday.

Not quite that bad but in one year we did get down to minus 6 but that is a rarity. All the pipes on the wall of our garages in all 5 houses built on this road froze and burst. Builder did not put insulation on pipes against outside wall. They are all fixed right now. Not looking forward to those temps ever again!

55°F and sunny today, but things are changing. Looks like winter is here.

I took advantage of the nice weather and got my pond all set for winter. The pumps are out, the breather is in. The sedges have mostly been cut down. The remaining lily pads have been removed. All I really have left to do is remove the net, but I'll wait as long as possible before I do that.

We got blessed this weekend with that warm weather, definitely. Hubs and I wrapped up almost all the yard work this afternoon. We finished attaching the last of the fence boards to the driveway gate just as we lost daylight--we attached them to a new gate frame as the old one was falling apart. Not to mention we ran out of wood screws and I had to make a trip to Menards for more. On a Sunday afternoon. On a warm Sunday afternoon. On a warm Sunday afternoon during the holidays. You can only imagine the line I waited in to check out.
